His heart

"Can you hold my hand?" I whispered. He turned to face me and connected his hand with mine. "So any news? '' I asked nervously. The doctor looked at me guilty "you only have a few more months left to live if you don't get a  new heart." The nervous smile that was spread across my face immediately dropped. Two weeks later I went back in and asked him the same question "any news" this time he looked at me and said "we found you the perfect heart." I came in knowing that I was going to be disappointed but I'm surprised. This time I smiled and I looked over at my husband "I can't believe we're gonna be together forever" I whispered lovingly into his ear. "I'm so happy for you" he whispered back into my ear. Now feeling alive after the surgery I eagerly look for my husband around my hospital room. "He's not here, '' my mom said. I stared at her blankly "well where is he? '' I asked. She placed her hands so softly on my shoulder like a feather and kissed the top of my forehead. A few minutes of silence pass between us. Neither of us said a word just looking at each other. My mom went down to my ear and whispered "he gave his heart up for you my dear." I looked at her in disbelief and shook my head as tears were already spelling down my cheeks. "I'm so sorry dear but it's the truth" my mom whispered and wrapped me tightly in her arms. "I never even got to say goodbye" I said crying in her arms.
